The Social Security Fairness Act is now officially law, and it’s great news for our public service heroes.
👩🚒 Who benefits? Service workers (like teachers, firefighters, police officers, and government employees) who couldn’t get full Social Security benefits before.
👮♂️ What’s changed? These workers get backdated payments of around $4,320 from January–December 2024.
🧑🏫 What else? They’ll see roughly a $360 monthly increase going forward.
To our public service heroes, THANK YOU. We see you, and we appreciate you.

Did you think TikTok was gone for good? After being banned for 12ish hours, President Trump stepped in to perform TikTok CPR – giving the app 75 days before its fate is decided. Then the battle continues: Cooking videos, cringey dances, and comedy skits vs national security concerns.
President Trump’s “warm spot” for TikTok might mean it gets to live. But SHOULD it?
Not voicing an opinion here, just starting a conversation. 🙂

You didn't think you'd heard the last of the BOI drama, did you? Last week, the New Civil Liberties Alliance (NCLA) urged the Supreme Court not to reinstate the (currently null) BOI reporting requirements. And just in case they don't cooperate, a group of Republican lawmakers introduced a bill on January 15th get rid of BOI reporting entirely.
But no one is for sure what the Supreme Court will do (or when a deadline might suddenly be enforced). So make sure you’re prepared – you could risk some serious penalties if you aren’t.

ITIN is the new SSN – at least for non-U.S. residents. If you’re a nonresident earning income in the U.S. and not eligible for a Social Security Number, you’ll need an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number to file your taxes.
You can apply for your ITIN year-round. But don’t wait – during peak tax season (January 15 – April 30), processing can take months. To apply, just complete Form W-7 and provide proof of identity and foreign nationality status.
Have questions? We’d be glad to field them.

The Tik Tok ban could mean a lot more than just a drought of cringey dance videos.
“Businesses across America depend on TikTok's unique ability to help them reach otherwise unreachable customers, generate new revenue streams and drive awareness of their brands, products and services."
What do you think? Would a Tik Tok-less world be an overall positive or negative?

Do you use your vehicle for your business? The IRS bumped up the mileage rate for 2025 to 70 cents per mile – up a whopping 3 cents from last year.
If you really want to take advantage of the mileage deduction, good record-keeping is a MUST. Don’t leave money on the table because of messy logs or missed miles.
We can help take the hassle out of tracking – just give us a holler.
